User manual KLIPSCH SERIES II

[. . . ] The distance from the screen is not critical, though wide separation will tend to make the sound more spacious. Avoid having either speaker closer than 2 feet to a side wall, and if they are on shelves or in a cabinet, place them so that their fronts are at least flush with the cabinet's front. Left and Right Surround Speakers: Your RVX speakers have been designed to acoustically and cosmetically match the Klipsch Reference Satellite family of speakers. Please see your authorized Klipsch dealer to see which Reference Satellite model is right for you. [. . . ] Surround Back Speakers: If your electronics support Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX, or DTSES 7. 1-channel surround, you can place one or two speakers behind the seating area to serve as surround back speakers. As with the left and right surrounds, the optimum location is above seated ear level. If you are using just one back surround speaker, it should be centered behind the listening area; if you are using two, they should be spaced fairly close together. With this type of system, the regular left and right surrounds should be located adjacent to the seating area rather than behind it. STAND ADJUSTMENT AND WALL MOUNTING The RVX-42's attach to their stands via a bolt that allows them to be used in either the vertical orientation as they are shipped for shelf top use or horizontally, as is typical for center channel use. To adjust the base, remove the stand bolt tool from the rear of the unit and remove the bolt from the stand. Reposition the stand in the center mounting point and then replace the stand bolt tool in the opening that the stand bolt was previously installed within. BUT FIRST: TYPES OF CONNECTORS Bare wire -- Pull the two conductors apart for about an inch and strip approximately 1/4" of insulation from the end of each. (A wire stripper will simplify this, but you can use an ordinary pocket knife to cut around and through the insulation down to the wire. ) Twist the strands of wire on each individual conductor tightly together. Figure 3 Klipsch Reference Series speakers are wired internally with multiple gauges of high-purity copper wire, carefully selected and wound to ensure optimum signal transfer at all frequencies. You will obtain best performance from your speakers if you connect them to your amplifier or receiver with similar quality wire available from your dealer. we recommend that you use 18-gauge or heavier (lowergauge) stranded copper wire. Use a lower gauge (heavier) wire for longer runs to reduce the amount of amplifier power lost due to the wire's resistance. Most pre-terminated speaker cables have color-coded connectors that make it easy to match output and inputs correctly. If yours do not, or if you are making your own out of paired, two-conductor wire, look for identifying marks on the insulation of the two conductors. Normally there will be printing, a stripe or a molded ridge along one of the conductors. BASS MANAGEMENT SETTINGS AND SUBWOOFER ADJUSTMENT Digital surround-sound receivers, amplifiers, and processors use what is known as bass management to ensure that low frequencies in the various channels are sent to speakers that can handle them and away from small speakers that cannot. The Reference Satellites require a subwoofer (or large front left and right speakers) to reproduce low bass. in your receiver or processor's speaker setup menu , set all channels connected to Reference Satellites to "Small. " If you are depending on large front speakers for bass, set the channels feeding them to "Large.
